Task 8: Just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake.

My solution was a lot simpler than the videos so I want to make sure I'm not making a mistake that I'll repeat down the road.

All I wrote was : button.addEventListener('click', () => { extra.style.display = 'none';
});

This doesn't remove the element from the DOM as directed by the instructions. However, it does do a good job of hiding it by causing the browser to not display it.

But the hidden element still exists in the DOM, can be examined using the Dev Tools, and could be re-displayed at any time by other code.
